Obiwan Kenobi, 37, has been arrested for a hit-and-run that caused a four-car pileup.

The Roseville, CA man, born Benjamin Cale Feit, changed his name in 1999 to win a $1000 radio contest tied to the release of Star Wars Episode I, but never changed it back due to a hike in the state's name-change fees.

"I don't regret it at all," Kenobi said in a 2008 interview, "I was going to be single anyway."

No word on whether he told the cops "I'm not the driver you're looking for." If so, the Jedi mind trick didn't work -- he was arrested and then released on $17,000 bail.
